Emirates Airbus A380s Resume Flights

Emirates has unveiled plans to deploy its iconic Airbus A380 on its daily Amsterdam service, and add a second daily A380 service to London Heathrow starting from 1 August 2020.

Emirates hugely popular A380s returned to the skies on Wednesday, with EK001 to London Heathrow taking off from Dubai International Airport at 07:45, and EK073 at 08:20, carrying commercial passengers onboard this flagship aircraft for the first time since March.

Emirates flight EK073 received a special welcome on arrival at Paris Charles De Gaulle, as it becomes the first and only scheduled A380 flight to operate at this major European airport since the ongoing global COVID19 pandemic began.

On Wednesday, Emirates also resumed scheduled passenger services to seven more cities - Athens, Barcelona, Geneva, Glasgow, Larnaca, Munich, and Rome.

Today, the airline will resume flights to Malé and Washington DC, whilst Brussels flights will recommence tomorrow (17 July).

Emirates has said that travellers will only be accepted on flights if they comply with the eligibility and entry criteria requirements of their destination countries.

Before buying a ticket, passengers should check they have whatever insurance they need, and also verify very carefully with the relevant authorities for all the latest required regulations of not only their final destination, but also the airport they will fly from, return to, and any they may need to transit in.
